Chapter 1538 A mess (there is no card pool to draw from recently)

Luoyang is a major transportation route with many connections. Not long after, the news of the Peony Tower was widely publicized and known to everyone.

There are two reasons why this matter spread so widely in a short period of time.

First, as Duanmu Huai said, not everyone who has the ability to fight for the world is willing to let Cihang Jingzhai choose the emperor, but it is not easy for them to come forward to be enemies with Cihang Jingzhai. Duanmu Huai’s derogation of the Heshi Bi, coupled with the fact that what he said was all historical facts, not fictitious, also greatly weakened the effect of the Heshi Bi in choosing the emperor.

After all, there is only one Heshi Bi, but there are many people fighting for the world, so everyone has the same idea.

Since I can’t get it, then no one else should get it. So these overlords also signaled their subordinates to let everyone know about this matter, so that even if Cihang Jingzhai gave the Heshi Bi to someone, its influence would be greatly weakened.

Second, of course, Duanmu Huai pointed out that Cihang Jingzhai was hypocritical and pretentious. No matter how high-sounding their words were, they still wanted to fight for the world. Of course, if someone else said this, it would probably have no effect. But the problem is that this came from Duanmu Huai, and he really killed Yang Guang!

If it were anyone else, they would say you can do it, but Duanmu Huai really did it!

I killed Yang Guang, so I can naturally accuse Cihang Jingzhai of just talking but not doing anything, and being hypocritical, and no one else can say anything. After all, Cihang Jingzhai did nothing during Yang Guang's tyranny. It was not until Yang Guang died and the world was in chaos that it came out to announce the Heshi Bi. Thinking about it this way, Cihang Jingzhai is indeed not a good bird.

Many things cannot withstand thinking, after all, thinking about them will go wrong. Just like many people say that you can become a developed country as long as you engage in Western democracy, but if you ask him which country has become a developed country after democracy, he can't answer a word.

The same is true for the Heshi Bi. Cihang Jingzhai said that whoever gets the Heshi Bi will get the world, so you can also ask it who got the Heshi Bi first and then got the world?

Cihang Jingzhai can't answer either.

At present, this has become the biggest headache for all the major forces in Luoyang City.

"I really didn't expect that the gentleman would say such a thing."

In the temple of the Jingnian Zen Sect, a woman dressed as a scholar closed her eyes and sighed, and behind her, a monk just clasped his hands together and remained silent.

The woman was none other than Shi Feixuan, the unique successor of Cihang Jingzhai.

For Shi Feixuan, the biggest impact of the sensation created by Duanmu Huai was on her. After all, Shi Feixuan really had the world in mind and wanted to find a wise leader who could save the people from the water and fire. However, Duanmu Huai only said a few words and described Cihang Jingzhai as a little demon who took the opportunity to cause chaos. The Heshi Bi that was specially taken out no longer had its original attraction at this moment.

Originally, Shi Feixuan planned to have a detailed discussion with people in various forces who might become emperors, listen to their views and arguments on the world, and then decide to give the Heshi Bi to the wise leader she chose. Shi Feixuan was doing very well before, but now the situation is completely different. The bigwigs of various forces who used to be in awe of Shi Feixuan no longer care about the questions and answers with Shi Feixuan, let alone the whereabouts of the Heshi Bi.

Some people even threatened that it would not be too late for Cihang Jingzhai to send the Heshi Bi as a gift after they conquered the world.

It can be said that Duanmu Huai's words in the Peony Tower completely defeated Cihang Jingzhai's plan to choose the world's common leader. Of course, this is also due to his own strength and fame, otherwise, if someone else said this, it would not have achieved this effect.

The monk behind Shi Feixuan kept silent, and Shi Feixuan also did not speak again. Now their original purpose has been unattainable, and they can only rethink countermeasures.

On the other side, the atmosphere is completely opposite to that of the Pure Mind Zen Sect.

"I never thought that the immortal killer would smash Cihang Jingzhai's plan with just a few words. It's really interesting."

In a high house in Luoyang City, a woman wearing a veil sat on the armchair and sneered. Beside her, Kankan was waiting like a maid.

"If he hadn't taken your red pill and ruined the century-long plan of my Yinkui Sect to fight against Cihang Jingzhai, my Yinkui Sect would have welcomed him as a guest of honor. But now, he has only one way to go!"

The woman said, snorted coldly, and then slapped the coffee table with one hand.

She was none other than Zhu Yuyan, the head of Yinkui Sect.

No wonder Zhu Yuyan was so angry. You know, this duel between the righteous and the demon sect is related to the future of their Yinkui Sect. All along, the Yinkui Sect has been the leader of the two sects of the demon sect. However, the demon master Pang Ban came out of retreat, and it is very likely that he will take control of the two sects and six sects.

In this situation, only by defeating Shi Feixuan, the first representative of the righteous path, can the Yinkui Sect maintain its influence in the demon sect. For this reason, Zhu Yuyan chose Kankan. Her talents and talents are comparable to those of Shi Feixuan in all aspects, and she is also the second genius after the founder of the Yinkui Sect who is expected to practice the Heavenly Demon Art to the eighteenth level.

But the problem is that the Heavenly Demon Art can only be practiced if the body is pure yin. Zhu Yuyan lost her pure yin body because she was deceived by the evil king Shi Zhixuan, which made it impossible for her to reach the eighteenth level. Therefore, Zhu Yuyan placed all her hopes on her apprentice Kankan, but she didn't expect that Kankan, like herself, had lost her pure yin body, so she could only stop at the seventeenth level like Zhu Yuyan.

This made Zhu Yuyan furious. If the news about Peony House hadn't come out at that time, she might have wanted to rush to the door and fight Duanmu Huai for life or death.

"Master, calm down."

Huanwan hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhu Yuyan and whispered.

"In my opinion, it is unwise to make an enemy of the Immortal God of Killing. Master, please consider the long term."

"What? Do you think our Yin Kui faction can't defeat that guy?"

"This... please forgive me for speaking bluntly, this is exactly what happened."

Huanwan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"Although Hanhan was deceived by that fierce man, it was not all without gain. In fact, from Hanhan's point of view, the rumor that the Immortal Killer God is the birth of a heavenly being is probably not groundless or false, but is indeed true."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan frowned.

"How do you say this?"

"To be honest, after the Immortal Killing God captured Wenwen, he opened an immortal cave in the void and brought Wenwen in. It was just like what was described in the painting and opera, resplendent and resplendent, like a palace in the sky. occupy The ground is unknown, this is definitely not some kind of illusion or image, and when Huan Huan came out the next day, he saw that the immortal killing god just waved his right hand and closed the entrance... Such unbelievable things are definitely not ordinary. Can be done.”

"Um…………………"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan fell into deep thought. If anyone else said this, she would definitely regard it as nonsense. However, when Huanwan said this, Zhu Yuyan had to think deeply.

"Moreover, the Immortal Killing God once said bluntly to Huan that the ideal goal of the Holy Sect is not wrong, but only the right approach can get the right result..."

"What? Are you saying we did something wrong?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan glared at Hanhan, who quickly lowered her head.

"Huanhan didn't dare. She just felt that Cihang's Jingzhai plan had been ruined, and the Immortal Killing God was not pleased with them, so he might cause trouble. In this case, Huanwan thought that the Holy Sect could do it. Support a certain side and fight for hegemony in an upright manner . To be honest, after hearing what the Immortal Killing God said, Huan Huan was frightened and uneasy. There was always a feeling that even if our Holy Sect took over the world with the current methods, I was afraid that not only would it be difficult to achieve the Holy Sect's wishes, but it would also attract more people. Disaster."

"You...kneel down!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuyan stood up angrily, slapped the coffee table and shouted angrily, while Huanwan also hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything.

Zhu Yuyan stood in front of Hanhan, closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time, then sighed and sat down again.

"You said this won't work, that won't work, so in your opinion, what should we do?"

"this……………"

Faced with Zhu Yuyan's inquiry, Huanwan had nothing to say for a while. The Demon Sect has always acted unscrupulously and without any taboos. This was originally a resistance to Confucianism, but now it has completely transformed into anti-human and anti-social terrorism. Both Zhu Yuyan and Hanhan are already accustomed to this set of rules. Now if Hanhan wants to find a way to change everything, she really can't think of it.

"Perhaps... Hanhan can ask His Majesty the Immortal Killing God for advice? In Hanhan's opinion, he is not disgusted with the concept of the Holy Sect. Maybe there can be a way?"

"………………You go and try it."

Zhu Yuyan thought for a moment, took a breath, and closed her eyes silently. She is not a soft-hearted person, but facing Duanmu Huai, even Ru Zhu Yuyan can't do anything to him for a while. On the one hand, Huanwan's warning made Zhu Yuyan a little surprised. On the other hand, the magician Pang Ban's coming out of seclusion was also a great deterrent to the two sects of the Demon Sect. Everyone knew that Pang Ban was ambitious and wanted to unify the Demon Sect, so he was the first to bear the brunt. The ones he had to deal with were Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan, so Zhu Yuyan could only...make a decision based on the situation.

"Please teach me, sir." This was the first sentence that Hanwen said when she knelt down in front of Duanmuhuai and appeared in front of Duanmuhuai again like a ghost.

"Teach you, teach you what? Trigonometric functions? I can't even teach you."

Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes when he heard Huan Huan's confused words.

"Please teach me the Holy Sect's method to break the situation. If it comes true, Huanwan is willing to give me my life... even if I die."

"You said it as if you had a choice."

Duanmuhuai snorted and smiled. Huanwan still wants to take advantage of her, but Duanmuhuai doesn't care at all. In front of Duanmuhuai, Huanwan had no right to choose. She had to do whatever he wanted her to do.

"But I like the word "promise with one's body"...Okay, I'll just tell you a little bit. Of course, whether you like to hear it or not is your business and has nothing to do with me."

If Huanwan dared to say that she would be a cow or a horse in the next life, Duanmuhuai would immediately turn against her and drive her out. His ears would grow calluses hearing this. But seeing that Huanwan was so virtuous, Duanmuhuai didn't mind saying a few words. Anyway, it was just a boast. As for whether it would work out or not, it had nothing to do with him, right?

Having said this, Duanmuhuai coughed, and Huanwen hurriedly stood up and gave Duanmuhuai a cup of tea.

"Actually, if you ask me, you demon sects are all a bunch of idiots."

Duanmu Huai took a sip of tea, and then directly denied the entire Demon Sect with his first sentence.

"Actually, I also know your original history, 'Depose hundreds of schools of thought and only respect Confucianism.' You lost, and then you were excluded and marginalized. Then you formed two sects and six demon sects, trying to regain your original status and return to In the era of 'a hundred schools of thought contending', is it right or wrong?"

"As your Excellency said."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Huan Huai was also shocked. She had never told Duanmu Huai about the ideals of the Holy Sect, but she didn't expect that Duanmu Huai knew the internal situation of the Holy Sect so well...

"Then what's the point of you getting involved in this fight for world hegemony, or fighting a battle between good and evil with Cihang Jingzhai?"

Duanmu Huai curled his lips.

"What's wrong? Don't you think that if you bring an emperor to power, people will listen to you, abandon Confucianism, and let a hundred schools of thought contend? Dream on. Do you think that by then, scholars all over the world will listen to you? What do you want them to learn? Just learn what? If you want them to give up Confucianism, just give up Confucianism?”

“…………Isn’t that so?”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Huanwan was a little surprised. In her opinion, those scholars who had no power to restrain a chicken were completely useless. When the sword came to their bodies, why didn't they just change whatever they wanted? This is why the Yinkui faction joined this struggle for hegemony. When they control the emperor and power, they will naturally be able to overthrow Confucianism.

"Look, this is what you martial people think. You think the problem can be solved by force, but in fact it would be nice if it was that simple."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai also sighed silently.

If force could solve all problems, the Inquisition wouldn't have such trouble dealing with evil gods.

"To tell you the truth, even if you succeed in seizing the throne and promulgating your own policies, those scholars will not listen to you."

"Why?"

Hearing this, Huanwan blinked her dark and bright eyes in surprise.

"When the time comes, we can give an order to depose the Confucianists, and those who disobey will be executed. Isn't this enough?"

"So how many people are you going to kill?"

Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

"I want to tell you that times have changed. When hundreds of schools of thought were dismissed and Confucianism was respected, Confucianism was just one of them. So it was not difficult to eliminate other ideas at that time. But now, Confucianism is the consensus of students all over the world. How many people do you need to kill? And if you kill all the scholars, who will be the official, the military, and the finance? It would be good if you can manage the harem."

Having said this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pointed at his head.

"Ideas, thoughts are invisible and cannot be killed cleanly. Even if Qin Shihuang burned books and harassed Confucians, he still had his own team. What do you demon sect have? Overthrow Confucianism and let a hundred schools of thought contend. Do you have your own supporters? Do you have your own ideas? Are they factional? Will they be loyal to you? Are they willing to promote your ideas?”

If the cultists could be civilized, the Inquisition wouldn't have scorched the stakes.

"……………………"

Huanwan frowned, thinking about Duanmuhuai's problem. She had to admit that this was not an easy task. The Holy Sect is inherently against the status quo and mainstream thinking, so it is naturally incompatible with the mainstream, otherwise it would not be regarded as an evil heretic. You can think about it, naturally there are not many people who are willing to promote the thoughts of the Holy Sect.

Huanwan is naturally quirky and extremely smart. If it involves vendettas or gang wars, she can come up with countless poisonous schemes. However, faced with these questions raised by Duanmuhuai, even if she racked her brains, she couldn't think of anything for a while. There is no good solution.

This is not because of stupidity, but because Confucianism is the general trend of the world, and the general trend is the general trend. All your conspiracies and tricks are useless. Just like Duanmu Huai, his own strength is invincible. No matter how you use poison, assassination, or even tricks, you will be killed by Duanmu Huai with one punch. In this case, it is impossible to fight against him.

Thinking of this, Huanwan was also disheartened.

"Could it be that the centuries-long cherished wish of the Holy Sect has just come to nothing? Is it no longer possible?"

"How can anything be impossible in this world?"

Duanmuhuai sneered again.

"Like those idiots in Cihang Jingzhai, no one had tacitly acknowledged that they had the qualifications to choose the emperor before. However, after being exposed by me, they were immediately beaten back to their original form, even worse than a dog. The same is true for Confucianism. On the surface, it seems It’s bright and beautiful, but it’s not without its flaws.”

Having said this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand.

“I’ll give you eight words: seek truth from facts and integrate knowledge with action.”

"What do you mean by this?"

Staring at Duanmu Huai's gesture, Huan Huan's eyes lit up, and she silently recited eight words and remembered them in her heart.

"Think for yourself, and remember not to engage in those evil heretics all the time. The reason why I was able to expose Cihang Jingzhai was not by talking nonsense, but precisely because everything I said was true, so everyone will It’s so easy to accept. If I don’t tell the truth every day like you, lying is like eating and drinking. I’m afraid not many people will believe what I say.”

"Huanhan understands."

At this moment, Huanwan's heart was already trembling, as if she had finally found a way to break the situation, and she bowed to Duanmu Huai again.

"Thank you for your advice. I will discuss it with Master Zhu now. If successful, I will definitely help you..."

"Okay, get lost. It sounds like you still have a choice. You have to remember that no matter whether it works or not, you are my slave."

Duanmu Huai waved his hand without waiting for Qianqian to finish her words. Qianqian also chuckled and turned to leave.

Watching Qianqian leave, Duanmu Huai stretched and yawned.

After finishing eating all the famous dishes in Luoyang, as an after-meal exercise, he should go and cause trouble for Jingnian Zen Sect and Cihang Jingzhai.
